The Affair From the Affair

I dreamed about his touch from the day we met
Yearning for his sensual lips to meet my own
Emotionally bonded for months on end
But here I stand with you instead

I contemplated this infidelity for ages
But I never dreamed it would be with you
Your perfectly chiselled body below my fingertips
My mind racing as we dance so close
I thought this would happen with him
For I never dreamed of a chance with you

Suddenly I break down the invisible wall
And reach for your lustful kiss
Enveloped in the passion I didn't know existed
For you once helped me shape my own morals
Tighter you hold me as I lose myself in you
Beyond amazed that we share these desires
I let you carry me away to a world I never knew

Your eyes glisten with a deep intensity
As we both realize what is happening before us
But before I can speak, you silence me with your lips once more
As you press my body up against the wall
Finally you whisper in my ear, as I learn what is true in your heart
Hand in hand, we walk into the night
For to extinguish this fire, we must watch the flame burn
